Hi,
This is currently the default behavior of the Modern Quick Links WebPart in SharePoint Pages.
You may check the below posts in UserVoice and Up Vote -
1. https://sharepoint.uservoice.com/forums/329214-sites-and-collaboration/suggestions/32330134-quick-links-on-modern-pages-allow-open-link-within
2. https://sharepoint.uservoice.com/forums/329214-sites-and-collaboration/suggestions/35541775-open-links-in-new-tab-window

One of the alternative option is to build Custom SPFx WebPart as per your requirement.

Hope this helps.
Thanks.

    I voted for this as well. Note: there are several very similar 'open links in new Tab' posts. Truly asinine that this feature was taken away, yet within the Text web part you can check a box to open links in a new tab. Of course, they will probably take that feature away now also. 😉
